Briarwood of Torrelsons Ford
The Riverlight Briarwood of Torrelsons Ford; It is dedicated to the Green Church – Darupet specifically.
Terrif, Servant of the Green (Priest 3rd) + 2 Acolytes (clerics-in-training; Allen Servant of the Green [C2], Christopher [C1] and Margery, Servants in waiting [C1])
The Briarwood is in Trouble
Murken Mite (the seed of outer darkness)? = stage 1
Any party member who is part of the church or wyld faith gains advantage on checks to notice things being amiss.
DC 15 Nature: Only 20% of the normal critters (birds, rodents, bugs, snakes) are present; they have slowly fled the Briarwood.
DC 10 Perception: Sacred WyldFire is very small. Asks to help with gathering deadwood from the accelerated growth’s deadwood
DC 15 Perception: His 2 acolytes have gotten ill over the last 3 months off and on. Fatigue, fever, weakness, malaise. Looked after by their family – but this does not happen for the tenders of the Briarwood!
If all of this is pointed out, Terrif believes it might be related to barons’ family sickness (may have passed on his observations to acolytes). If asked about that, he says he has spoken out of turn, and apologizes for he cannot say more.
Searching: Takes a couple hours using Nature (DC 15) or Perception (DC 20)
Root Sickness – he should have easily seen it
Danwort Moss – normally a good thing, used to filter the rain water into a well, but under it is a black, slimy layer.
Mushrooms are growing where they shouldn’t (DC 16) – normal mushrooms but usually only grow in the darklands
There are dead creatures in the trees – beetles are eating them.
Treating
In 3 days and he will be sick; his powers fail and he is sad – says he just needs a rest
Should be seen by tender of Briarwood
The agent of Elancil has corrupted him. There is a Redskull Tick on his scalp.
Resists attempt to take him out of briarwood – any excuse
Nature = notice the same scent on him as on the corrupted Danwort moss
The tick will try and jump to the white sisters and get them to burn the briarwood
Msg – cleansing light
There is an urchin watching the Briarwood – a Darkling!!!
Rogue (Assassin) 4th (woman – looks like a woman anyway) – lies and tells deception +4 (expertise); speaks Vezpyr
Slaad
Murken Mite (the seed of outer darkness)
